The Path of Crafts was built in the same style as the Academy and operated in the same way as the Academy.
Therefore, the students of the Path of Crafts didn't train by themselves. Instead, they came to the classrooms and were taught by their teachers.
Especially those who just joined the Path of Crafts, they were required to attend classes and were not allowed to skip class.
Due to the scarcity of people in the secondary professions, there were basically not many people who chose it, so there were only two freshmen this time.
One of them was the strange-looking Xiang Ru Gu, the other was Ling Xian.
However, many older students didn't pass the advancement test. Therefore, they were demoted and had to listen with the new students.
Therefore, when Ling Xian and Xiang Ru Gu arrived at the classroom, they found many people sitting inside. Roughly estimating, there were around 20 people.
All of them were around 20 years old and all of them were sitting upright and looked very serious.
However, this was probably because of the woman on the podium. Or else they would've been acting very carelessly.
On top of the podium, the woman was wearing all white. Like a pure snow lotus, it was hard for people to take their eyes off of her.
Her delicate and beautiful face, plump and firm twin peaks, slender waist, and slender and round legs all exuded a fatal temptation. Especially that tranquil and ethereal extraordinary temperament, it made people's hearts palpitate.
At the very least, the older students in the classroom were mesmerized by her. Though they all looked serious, their eyes were full of passion.
This was normal. Such a beauty, if no one adored her, then she wouldn't be able to live up to the title of beauty.
"Dong Fang Yu, the teacher who teaches the first years. Apparently, she is only around 20 years old this year, but she is very skilled with crafts." Xiang Ru Gu mumbled to himself. It wasn't clear if he was talking to himself or to Ling Xian.
"If she was merely a vase with no abilities, then the Elders wouldn't have let her be a teacher." Ling Xian softly grinned. He marched forward and sat down on the empty seat in the last row.
Seeing this, Xiang Ru Gu also came to the last row. However, he didn't sit next to him.
"So this is the Heaven's Favorite who rejected the four peak leaders and chose to come to the Path of Crafts?" Dong Fang Yu revealed a faint smile, very curious about Ling Xian.
By now, his story had spread throughout the Shang Qing Sect's upper echelons.
First, he was tested to have Emperor-level talent. Then, he fought against a thousand people in the small world and returned with a great victory. His combat strength could be said to be abnormal. Of course, news like this wasn't enough to circulate around the upper management of the Shang Qing Sect. What really interested the important figures was that he rejected the four peak leaders.
Who were the four peak masters?
That was a truly powerful figure in the Shang Qing Sect. In the entire Yuezhou, he was a famous figure. The four of them had personally come to the scene and sincerely invited each other. Who could refuse? Who would dare to refuse?
However, Ling Xian declined. Putting everything else aside, just this courage alone was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
Plus, he didn't even consider his cultivation talent and chose the Path of Crafts. This made it even more interesting.
At the very least, Dong Fang Yu was interested in Ling Xian. She felt like he had a lot of personality and was an interesting person.
"What an interesting person. Let me see why you chose the Path of Crafts."
Thinking to herself, Dongfang Yu's pretty face gradually turned serious and she said in a cold voice, "Everyone, from today onwards, I am your teacher. In my class, you better be serious. Or else don't blame me for not being nice to you. "
At those words, other than Ling Xian and Xiang Ru Gu, everyone else shuddered. They must have heard about this beautiful teacher's style.
Because Dong Fang Yu's appearance was extraordinary, her background was extraordinary, and her own abilities were extraordinary, she was very famous in the Path of Crafts. Some teachers and pupils viewed her as a goddess and countless people pursued her. However, after all these years, nobody has ever succeeded.
Legend had it that it was because her personality was far too strange. Although she looked like a fairy, she was actually a demon. Especially when it came to pupils, she was extremely cruel.
The disciples who had been ravaged by her had even given her a nickname, the Devil of the East.
This was why after hearing what Dong Fang Yu said, the seniors who were demoted shuddered.
"Very well, let the class begin." Dong Fang Yu smiled in satisfaction. Then, her lips parted slightly and she began to explain the content of the first lesson.
The first year's class starts from the beginning. In other words, they start from the basics of craftsmanship. Therefore, the content she taught was all about craftsmanship.
At first, Ling Xian was very interested. Because this basic knowledge wasn't recorded in the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance. After all, it was the inheritance of the Pioneer of Crafts. It belonged to the highest level, why would it record such basic knowledge?
Therefore, he immersed himself in Dong Fang Yu's lecture and listened very seriously.
However, as time went on, he began to frown. Because he realized that these basic knowledge were of no use to him.
Don't forget, he was a Ninth Realm Craftsman. Plus, the techniques he mastered were extremely high leveled and were created by the Immortal of Crafts.
To use a simple example, it was like someone who has already learned a great technique. Then why would he need to learn a Ninth Realm technique?
It was completely unnecessary.
From certain angles, basic knowledge was the most important thing and was something every craftsman had to learn. However, there were exceptions to everything. Ling Xian was that exception.
He was the inheritor of the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance. Since the beginning, he had been receiving extremely high leveled knowledge.
It was like someone was still learning how to crawl while he could already run. He was running steadily. This was proven by the fact that he became a Ninth Realm Craftsman overnight. His path was not wrong.
Dong Fang Yu's explanation was not wrong. But she was teaching someone to first learn how to crawl, then learn how to walk, then learn how to run. Yet Ling Xian already knew how to run. Then why would he need to learn how to run?
If he couldn't run steadily, then he should learn. But he was running steadily. If that was the case, then it would be pointless to learn.
Therefore, when Ling Xian realized that what Dong Fang Yu was teaching was useless to him, he fell asleep on top of the table.
Of course, he was pretending to be sleeping. In reality, he was enlightening himself and continuing to study the inheritance of the Pioneer of Crafts.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, it was a real slumber.
This made everyone's eyes widen and their faces were full of disbelief.
Sleeping?
This person dared to sleep during the Devil of the East's class?
Everyone's jaws dropped and they couldn't believe what they were seeing was real. Remember that Dong Fang Yu was widely recognized as a ruthless person. Even teachers treated her with respect and didn't dare to provoke her.
Yet before their eyes, Dong Fang Yu told them to be serious in class and Ling Xian dared to sleep. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
Dong Fang Yu was a little startled as well. She's been teaching for a few years now. In the beginning, there were people who daydreamed during her class. But as she became more aggressive, nobody dared to do that anymore.
However, at this moment, there was yet another new student who didn't take her words to heart. What was this?
An open provocation!
Yes, in everyone's eyes, in Dong Fang Yu's eyes, this was disrespecting her authority!
Therefore, this beautiful teacher from the Path of Crafts was furious.
"Xian Ling, get up right now!"
Shouting, Dong Fang Yu's face was dark and anger was brewing inside her.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Dong Fang Yu's angry voice, Ling Xian retreated out of his state of enlightenment. He couldn't help but frown, not understanding why this beautiful teacher was so angry.
"Xian Ling, you sure have a personality. You dare to sleep during my class." Dong Fang Yu's chest was moving up and down from anger. It was a spectacular sight.
"So that's why." Ling Xian realized and remembered what Dong Fang Yu said before class. He couldn't help but to laugh.
Honestly speaking, it was wrong of him to sleep during class. But he felt like Dong Fang Yu's lessons were useless and that listening to them was a waste of time.
Therefore, he chose to enlighten himself on the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance. That was not wrong.
"I told you to pay attention in class, yet you dare to sleep. You are challenging my authority."
Dong Fang Yu's expression was heavy like water as she snickered, "I don't care about your personality. But in my class, you must follow my rules. Or else I promise you that you will end up miserable."
Ling Xian frowned, a little unhappy.
If Dong Fang Yu's lessons were useful to him, he would've paid attention. But to him, it was useless. Was he not allowed to learn something useful?
Therefore, he was neither arrogant nor humble as he slowly said something that made Dong Fang Yu even angrier.
"I don't think the knowledge you are teaching me is useful. Therefore, I don't want to waste time. That is why I am learning what is useful to me."
At those words, everyone once again froze.
It's useless?
What the … not only did he ignore the Demon of the East's authority, he also questioned her abilities. You sure are gutsy!
Everyone was speechless. They all looked at Ling Xian with pity in their eyes, as if they were looking at a dead man.
They all had the same thought – they thought he was going to die today.
"Good, good, good."
Dong Fang Yu said "good" three times in a row. She gritted her teeth and her chest was heaving up and down.
Remember that she was a teacher from the Path of Crafts. Her skills with crafts were extraordinary. What she was most proud of was her skills with crafts. Yet now, Ling Xian was questioning her abilities. Why wouldn't she be furious?
Ignoring her authority was fine. Maybe she could endure it for now and deal with him later. But publicly questioning her abilities was something she couldn't take.
"You dare to question my skills with crafts. Xian Ling, you sure are gutsy."
Dong Fang Yu's expression was dark as she stared deadly at Ling Xian. It was as if she could spit out fire.
"I am not questioning. I simply think what you are teaching me is useless." Ling Xian smiled. There was no fear on his handsome face.
"There's no difference."
Dong Fang Yu coldly snickered, "Didn't you question my abilities? Then I will give you a chance. If you can answer my question, then I will let bygones be bygones. "
Ling Xian frowned. He knew that if he can't prove himself, then he won't be able to get away with it.
Therefore, he revealed a faint smile and softly said a word that made everyone's blood boil.
"Please."
